Its figures like these that Dorothy and her team will be analysing in depth to try and calculate if Dorothy should run for Parliament or not - certainly obvious that both voters in Watford & Three Rivers have no qualms about voting in the Lib Dems to run their local councils, as done so for years, but this confidence does not seem to extend to votes in the Euros or as yet for Westminster.

I am confident the LibDems will deliver a graph with a caption that says "Only the LibDems can win in Watford" when it comes to the Westminster elections next year.

Actually, they will probably say Dorothy Thornhill, not LibDems, so toxic is the LibDem brand.

Statistically it will be very dodgy, but they will do it anyway. They did it last time for Sal Brinton and guess what?

She lost.

A spoiler party with a similar name and slogan "An Independence from Europe", is thought to have taken votes from UKIP in these elections, about 10% of our votes.

Had that not happened and the votes gone to UKIP, then UKIP would have run out absolute winners in Watford, beating both Labour and the Conservatives.

In the end we won comfortably across the region but it would have been even better for UKIP.

I know it is early in the morning for some Hampermill Mike, but in case you hadn't noticed or read the article, this story is about the EU elections.

That's why I commented about the EU elections on a story about the EU elections.

Do you have anything to say about the EU elections where UKIP won and the LibDems were wiped out in this region?

Not at all, just pointing out the facts.

It's a shame that in Watford we didn't beat Labour as well as the other parties in this EU election, but it didn't make much difference in the overall scheme of things. UKIP still won, just by a slightly lower margin.
